Homemade Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard
Homemade Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard
I’ve been waiting a long time to try and post this new recipe of mine. Growing up as a child, some of my fondest memories were going to half off movies with my pops and getting Reeses Peanut Cup Blizzards.
Fast forward to today and I still LOVE Reeses Peanut Cup Blizzards but I’ve learn to TRACK my macronutrient intake so I can still enjoy the foods I love while maintaining a lean/shredded and healthy physique. So I still go out with friends and family and usually get a small or medium blizzard, however this recipe is EASY to make at home and is lower in calories!
